QML Gradient Any Direction - SOLVED

[Almustafa]

Good day

I leave here a way to gradients in any direction.

I make a new component called "Gradiente"

Code in qt 5.0.1

gradiente.h
[code]
#ifndef GRADIENTE_H
#define GRADIENTE_H

#include <QtCore>
#include <QQuickPaintedItem>
#include <QPainter>
#include <QDebug>

class Gradiente : public QQuickPaintedItem
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QList<QString> colores
READ colores
WRITE setColores
NOTIFY fondoChanged)

Q_PROPERTY(QList<qreal> puntos
           READ puntos
           WRITE setPuntos
           NOTIFY fondoChanged)

Q_PROPERTY(QPointF puntoInicial
           READ puntoInicial
           WRITE setPuntoInicial
           NOTIFY fondoChanged)

Q_PROPERTY(QPointF puntoFinal
           READ puntoFinal
           WRITE setPuntoFinal
           NOTIFY fondoChanged)

public:
void setColores(const QList<QString> &cs);
QList<QString> colores() const;
void setPuntos(const QList<qreal> &ps);
QList<qreal> puntos() const;
void setPuntoInicial(const QPointF &p);
void setPuntoFinal(const QPointF &p);
QPointF puntoInicial() const;
QPointF puntoFinal() const;

signals:
void fondoChanged();
public:
explicit Gradiente(QQuickPaintedItem *parent = 0);
void paint(QPainter *painter);
signals:

public slots:

private:
QList<QString> m_colores;
QList<qreal> m_puntos;
QPointF m_pi;
QPointF m_pf;

};

#endif // GRADIENTE_H
[/code]

gradiente.cpp
[code]
#include "gradiente.h"

Gradiente::Gradiente(QQuickPaintedItem *parent) :
QQuickPaintedItem(parent)
{
setFlag(ItemHasContents, true);
}

void Gradiente::paint(QPainter *painter)
{
//painter->setRenderHints(QPainter::Antialiasing, true);

float x1 = m_pi.x() * this->width();
float y1 = m_pi.y() * this->height();
float x2 = m_pf.x() * this->width();
float y2 = m_pf.y() * this->height();

QLinearGradient linearGrad(x1,y1,x2,y2);

for (int i = 0; i < m_colores.size(); i++) {
    if(i >= m_puntos.size()){
        qWarning() << "El vector de 'colores' y 'puntos' debe tener el mismo tamaño!";
        break;
    }
    else{
        linearGrad.setColorAt(m_puntos.at(i), m_colores.at(i));
    }
}

QBrush br(linearGrad);
painter->fillRect(boundingRect(), br);

}

void Gradiente::setColores(const QList<QString> &cs)
{
m_colores = cs;
emit fondoChanged();
}

QList<QString> Gradiente::colores() const
{
return m_colores;
}

void Gradiente::setPuntos(const QList<qreal> &ps)
{
m_puntos = ps;
emit fondoChanged();
}

QList<qreal> Gradiente::puntos() const
{
return m_puntos;
}

void Gradiente::setPuntoInicial(const QPointF &p)
{
m_pi = p;
if(m_pi.x() > 1) m_pi.setX(1);
if(m_pi.y() > 1) m_pi.setY(1);
emit fondoChanged();
}

void Gradiente::setPuntoFinal(const QPointF &p)
{
m_pf = p;
if(m_pf.x() > 1) m_pf.setX(1);
if(m_pf.y() > 1) m_pf.setY(1);
emit fondoChanged();
}

QPointF Gradiente::puntoInicial() const
{
return m_pi;
}

QPointF Gradiente::puntoFinal() const
{
return m_pf;
}
[/code]

Registred the new component.

main.cpp
[code]
#include "gradiente.h"
......
qmlRegisterType<Gradiente>("MisComponentes", 1, 0, "Gradiente");
[/code]

Finally, in the QML file:

[code]
import MisComponentes 1.0
.....
.........
//Horizontal Gradient
Gradiente{
width: 400
height: 400
colores: ["red", "blue", "#2f548d"]
puntos: [0.0 , 0.5, 1.0]
puntoInicial.x: 0.0
puntoInicial.y: 0.5
puntoFinal.x: 1.0
puntoFinal.y: 0.5
}
//Diagonal Gradient
Gradiente{
y: 450
width: 400
height: 400
colores: ["red", "blue", "#2f548d"]
puntos: [0.0 , 0.5, 1.0]
puntoInicial.x: 0.0
puntoInicial.y: 0.0
puntoFinal.x: 1.0
puntoFinal.y: 1.0
}
[/code]

I hope this is helpful to you

Hi,

This was exactly what I needed - somehow OpacityMask won't go well with traditional QML gradient+rotation

Your Class solved it, thanks!

Note: Qt 5.0.2
